It looks like you haven't put your iPhone in recovery mode properly. Follow the steps mentioned in the guide to put your iPhone 3GS in recovery mode and try to restore using the custom firmware again.

Said to said that Dev Team had give up with MS Windows users....
-
I agree. I'll wait to see what they Dev Team has to say!
-
how can you tell the diffrence?
-
Really it worked on Windows 7? I find that hard to believe unless you are using an emulator for OSX
-
Can this down the baseband to 04.26.08 for the one accidently upgraded to 3.1 from apple ?
Or is ther any other way ?
With the baseband 05.11.07 i cannot unlock it. -
how about the accidentally 3Gs ?
-
Dev Team has mentioned that they will update RedSn0w but they haven't given an ETA. They have mentioned that PwnageTool to jailbreak any iPhone 3GS is the priority as it is the only way to preserve baseband.
-
I jailbroke my 3gs with windows today.
Just search Google there's a way to do it...
-
Yes, PwnageTool is compatible with Purplera1n. You should be able to jailbreak.
-
so does this work for windows or no?

Hi, my iPhone 3GS came with OS 3.0.1 installed and I have jailbroken it successfully. In Cydia, it says "This Device has a 3.1 ECID SHSH on File". Will I be able to update my iPhone 3GS to iPhone OS 3.1 Using PwnageTool 3.1.3? Thanks!

I have a iPhone 3GS came with OS 3.0.1 installed and I have NOT jailbroken it. Can anyone offer some steps or helpful insights?
-
I tried it again and am still getting the 1604 error.
-
I had no problems. Please just take the time to read and understand instructions. Works like a champ!
:) Thanks Dev Team!

I did exactly that, and also got the 1600 error. I've then tried holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons, and now have an Apple logo just sitting there.
Caution - these instructions clearly still have the potential for failure when followed to the letter.
Now I just hope I can get my phone back to 3.0.1 with the jailbreak, because at the moment I have a shiny apple-logo'd brick.

OK - full run down on the situation while I try not to panic.
iPhone 3GS, jailbroken and running 3.0.1. Was running very nicely. At the moment asking myself why I tried to upgrade it... but there is an app which sounds really good that only runs on 3.1, so I guess that's why.
Followed the instructions in this guide to the letter - reread several times before attempting, then followed them through in order.
I did add some of the packages to Cydia to save myself time reconstructing the phone afterwards... was this a mistake? The instructions here say it's OK, but maybe they're wrong.
I then did exactly this to put my phone in recovery mode:
Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time.
As soon as the screen goes black release the Sleep/Wake button.
Continue holding the home button until you iTunes pops up a message as seen below telling you that it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode.
It did that, I selected the "custom_restore" firmware I created, it said "extracting software", then repeatedly zipped through progress bars saying "preparing iPhone for restore", then...
The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1600).
Suggestions, please?
Incidentally, I just tried creating a new custom firmware using the "Simple" option and not messing with it at all... and that failed in exactly the same way.
Umm... help? Please??

WARNING. Following the instructions isn't enough - you need to follow the instructions and be lucky. I followed the instructions, but I wasn't lucky. Now I don't know if I can get my phone working again without losing my jailbreak.
